I fell down in the morning and landed on my knee, almost immediately it started to swell, I can put a little weight on it but can't bend it. I don't really want to waste the hospitals time (or money) but also don't want to mess up my knee. The picture is taken after 5 hours with an ice pack (that did help a bit)

Which knee is it?! Confused

If you can't feel it properly and can't bend it, then see how it is tomorrow, and if it's no better, go to the docs/hospital.

Is there a minor injuries unit near you? That's where I'd go.

The left knee, it's sort of the area above the knee that's swollen

Not in the uk and only option is ER or GP (but will not be able to get a time with the GP until Monday and ER I can only go to within the first 24hours), would have preferred the GP

You should go to ER, you could have damaged the cartilage and the swelling could be fluid, I wouldn't leave it until Monday.
